Lower 'Value Into the Net' Fee
NSCC will reduce the "value into the net" fee from $0.46 to $0.44 per million of processed value, effective January 1, 2026. NSCC estimates this change will reduce overall annual fee revenue by about $14 million and that individual Member impacts average about 4 percent based on 2025 data.
Exclude SLD From Clearing Fund Fee
NSCC will remove Supplemental Liquidity Deposits (SLD) from the Clearing Fund Maintenance Fee calculation, effective upon filing (filed December 9, 2025). NSCC estimates SLD inclusion previously impacted fewer than ten Members and resulted in additional aggregate charges of around $1.83 million based on 2024 data.
Remove $500 Late Protect Submission Fee
NSCC will eliminate the Long Broker Late Protect Submission Fee of $500 per instruction and apply a single $15 fee per input/add instruction regardless of submission window, effective January 1, 2026. NSCC reports the late fee historically applied to fewer than ten Members for an aggregate total of less than $25,000 in annualized 2025 data.
